Bright Sword: An eight-year-old boy led a group to fight the Japanese invaders - Chapter 148: The Japanese Cavalry Seeks Help

Watanabe Ken looked at his deputy in disbelief. Is this something a human could say?

No matter how powerful the cavalry is, they are still made of flesh and blood. The Eighth Route Army on the opposite side has armored vehicles and tanks. Using flesh and blood to collide with the steel torrent of the Eighth Route Army is just courting death, isn't it?

Just as the two were arguing, the Japanese signalman ran into the tent to report,

"Your Excellency, Commander of the Regiment, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the vanguard troops of the Eighth Route Army have reached five miles in front of us. Should we attack?"

"The Tubalu came so quickly? Didn't they say they were 30 kilometers away?"

The mountain pass asked in surprise.

Ken Watanabe organized his equipment, turned around, walked out of the tent and ran forward, and the pass on the mountain quickly followed him.

The two of them came to a small slope under the protection of the guards. Watanabe Ken put down the telescope and turned around and said,

Shan Shangyakou was speechless after being asked by Watanabe Ken. His face flushed, he said with all his strength, "This is not a reason for you to be passive and avoid fighting!"

While the two were talking, Wang Daben had already arrived with a large force. Without waiting for a break, he set up a temporary position with the rocket artillery platoon and the artillery companies of each battalion.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Watanabe Ken and Shan Shangyakou were on their way back to the headquarters when a shell flew over their heads and landed in the Japanese camp.

Watanabe Ken yelled and ran to the side.

Seeing Watanabe Ken running faster than a rabbit at the mountain pass, he was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he didn't dare to run back to the camp to command the troops, so he had to follow Watanabe Ken.

The Japanese Cavalry Regiment and the Second Japanese Cavalry Division did not expect the battle to occur so suddenly.

At noon they said the enemy was 30 kilometers away, but at p.m. artillery shells fell on them.

After three rounds of bombardment by the rocket artillery platoon and the artillery companies of each battalion, the smoke from the enemy camp had not yet dissipated when tanks and armored vehicles rushed out.

More than 1000 soldiers from the Third Regiment quickly advanced into the enemy camp under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles.

The Japanese soldiers who didn't have time to mount their horses were crushed into meat patties by the tanks and armored vehicles before they could react. The soldiers following the tanks and armored vehicles killed people as they walked with assault rifles.

The cavalry group had no power to fight back against the mechanized troops. Besides, they had no anti-tank weapons at all.

An hour later, the soldiers of the Third Regiment who were following the enemy returned to the enemy camp with a lot of harvest. The Sixth Regiment behind them had almost cleaned up the battlefield.

Wang Daben was sitting on the tank armor, smoking a cigarette. Zhao Sheng found him and asked, "Captain Daben, are you unhappy?"

Wang Daben threw away his cigarette butt and climbed down from the tank, "Uncle Zhao, this is a huge loss!"

"Where's the loss?" Zhao Sheng asked with a smile.

Look at the battlefield. Except for some Japanese soldiers who were resting, the casualties among the Japanese soldiers were very small. We didn’t even get back the money for the artillery shells in this battle.”

Zhao Shengzheng comforted him, "Daben, that's good. The brigade commander called me before we set off. The main point was that cavalry and infantry are different.

We cannot deal with cavalry the same way we deal with infantry.

Every time our independent brigade fights, we focus on destroying the enemy's manpower. When facing the enemy's cavalry, we need to be more patient."

Watanabe Ken and Shan Shangyakou, who had already run out of the battlefield, were gathering the lone Japanese soldiers. It was not until dark that the two found more than 500 Japanese cavalry and more than 6000 Second Japanese cavalry.

Watanabe Ken scolded the commander of the Japanese cavalry division, saying that you are serving the Imperial Army.

Now you are running away and letting the Imperial Army cover your retreat. This is totally unfair. I must report this to the commander when I return to Mengbao.

When Watanabe Ken was scolding the Japanese cavalry division commander, Yamagami Yaguchi had already sent a telegram to Arima Ichiro, the commander of the Japanese cavalry group.

No matter how powerful the Eighth Route Army is, it is not a reason for Watanabe Ken to run away. When he returns to Mengbao, he must be dealt with.

Chief of Staff Yamagishi Ichikawa reminded him, "Commander, the Jinsui Army west of Mengbao is preparing to make a move. They should be trying to take advantage of the opportunity when the Tubalu attacked to attack Mengbao.

In addition, the Eighth Route Army is coming with great force, so we'd better make plans early."

Arima Ichiro said bitterly, "We are the most powerful cavalry group in the empire, and we have the pseudo-Mongolian cavalry first army under our command. When we first came to Mongolia,

Now that the Tubalu had just conquered Sui Province, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army dared to take advantage of the situation to rob them. They really don't know how to write the word death.

After we have dealt with the Tubalu, we must teach the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army a lesson. "

Yamagishi Ikawa was also very angry, but he was more rational. "Commander, the Tubalu troops are advancing very fast. I think it's better to ask for help as soon as possible."

"Ask for help? Who should we ask for help? The commander of the Mongolian garrison, Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigenori, who is closest to us, is still surrounded by the Eighth Route Army in Suicheng and cannot move.

Ichiro Arima is worthy of being the commander of the Japanese cavalry group, and he has a very accurate understanding of the current situation.

"What should we do? Should we do nothing? Cavalry units are not suitable for defense at all." Yamagishi Ikawa said somewhat bewilderedly.

"There is really no other choice but to move in. The Tubalu want to cover up, so let them do it."

"Really give it to me?" Yamagishi Ikawa was unwilling.

Let the troops in Suixi withdraw in an organized manner, let the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army come in, and when we leave, we will give the Mongolian bunkers to them.

I just don't believe that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army can negotiate peacefully?"

"Well, the commander really has an idea. Mengbao is rich in mineral resources. Both the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army want it. Let them fight for it!"
